Abstract

Lead is a ubiquitous environmental and industrial pollutant that causes a major health concerns. It is known to induce a broad range of physiological, biochemical, and behavioral dysfunctions in laboratory and humans, including hematopoietic system, kidneys, liver, and reproductive system. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Saengshik supplementation on the lead-induced toxicity in rats. Five week old male Sprague­Dawley rats were randomly assigned to five groups for six weeks as followings: control group (CT), lead acetate treated group (PT), and lead acetate groups administered with three different dosages of Saengshik $(SI2.5-12.5\%,\;S25-25\%,\;and\;S50-50\%).$ Lead acetate (12 mg/rat) was intragastrically administered daily for 6 weeks. The results were summarized as follows; Weight gain and food efficiency ratio were significantly lower (p<0.05) in lead administered group compared with those of the control group. Also, significant lead-induced alteration in blood hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and reticulocyte distribution width (RDW) were observed. In the liver of lead-exposed animals, there was an increase in the lipid peroxidation (MDA) and the level of glutathione (GSH), but superoxiede dismutase (SOD) activity did not change. Lead-exposed animals with $25\%\;and\;50\%$ Saengshik supplementation showed marked improvements in the values of MCH, MCV, and RDW. Also, the level of HCT was significantly increased by $50\%$ Saengshik supplementation. The levels of liver MDA in $12.5\%\;and\;50\%$ Saengshik administered groups and GSH level in $50\%$ Saengshik administered group were significantly decreased compared to the lead administered group. Also, hepatic SOD activity tended to increase in the presence of Saengshik supplementation. Furthermore, the accumulation of lead in liver and kidney was reduced by presence of Saneghshik supplementation. Liver lead concentration was significantly reduced by both $25\%\;and\;50\%$ Saengshik supplementations and kidney lead concentration was significantly reduced by the $25\%$ Saengshik supplementation. These results show that Saengshik may have a protective effect against lead intoxication but the mechanism of their effects remains unclear.

생식 제품이 납중독 흰쥐의 피해경감에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 12mg의 납을 매일 1회 쥐에게 경구 투여하면서 생식제품이 $12.5\%,\;25\%,\;50\%$ 함유된 식이로 6주간 사육 후 체중 증가율 및 사료 효율, 혈액학적 검사, 간 조직의 과산화지질함량, SOD활성, GSH 함량과 간 및 신장 조직내 납 함량을 측정하였다. 체중 증가율과 사료 효율은 납 투여시 대조군과 비교하여 유의적으로 감소되는 것으로 나타났고(p<0.05), 생식의 급여는 체중과 식이효율을 다소 증가시키는 경향을 보였으며, 특히 $12.5\%$ 생식 섭취군에서는 식이 효율이 납 단독 투여군과 비교하여 유의적으로 증가되는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 납에 의한 혈액학적 독성 증상으로 납 단독 투여군에서는 RBC를 제외한 HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, RDW에서 유의적인 손상이 나타났으며(p<0.05), HCT의 경우 $50\%$ 생식 섭취군에서 유의적으로 증가되는 것으로 나타났고(p<0.05), MCV, MCH, RDW의 경우 $25\%$$50\%$ 생식 급여 시 납에 의한 손상이 완화되는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 그러나 HGB의 경우 생식 농도에 따른 수치 증가는 관찰되었지만 유의 차는 나타나지 않았다. 또한 납 투여로 간조직 의 과산화지 질 생성이 다소 증가되는 것이 관찰되었으며, $12.5\%$$50\%$ 생식 섭취군에서 과산화지질 생성이 유의적으로 감소되는 것으로 타나났다(p<0.05). 그러나 납 투여에 따른 SOD활성 변화는 관찰되지 않았으나 생식은 SOD활성을 다소 증가시키는 경향을 보였다 뿐만 아니라 납 단독 투여는 항산화 및 해독 작용 관련 물질인 GSH 수준을 유의적(p<0.05)으로 증가시켜주는 것에 반해 생식의 섭취는 증가된 GSH의 함량을 농도 의존적으로 낮추는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 또한 생식은 간과 신장 조직에서의 납 축적을 억제시켜 간 조직의 경우 $25\%$$50\%$ 생식군에서 유의적인 감소 효과가 있었고, 신장 조직에서는 $25\%$ 생식군에서 유의적인 감소 효과가 있었다(p<0.05). 이상의 연구 결과에 의하면 생식의 섭취는 납중독으로 발생되는 혈액학적 및 산화적 손상을 완화시켜 주고, 조직에서의 납축적을 억제시켜 주는 것으로 나타나 생식은 납중독에 의한 피해를 경감시켜줄 수 있는 해독 기능을 갖는 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 본 연구는 생식의 유효성을 평가하기 위한 기초 자료 일환으로 동물실험 수준에서 평가된 연구로서 인체에 적용하기는 아직 무리가 있으며, 향후 용량 설정에 대한 연구 및 임상단계에서 효능을 평가하기 위한 다각적인 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 여겨지고, 이와 함께 후속 연구를 통한 생식의 납 해독 기전이 규명되어야 할 것이다.
